REV. y. l. ATWOOD writes to the REG
IsrER takingit to task for its advocacy oil
revenue reform in the line Of the repeal
of Internal revenue, or direct taxation IN
preference TO an indiscriminate reduction
OF the tariff and complains that the incl
dental protection OF our home industries
and the stimulation of American develop
ment does not protect his ''hOme industry, "
The Rsyerned gentleman will allow us to
dispute his assertion. Aside from the
spiritual nature Of Mr.. ATwOOD's in
dustry" it will serve to represent the "un-
protected" class referred to. Its cOntinu-
auce and enlargement, he will admit, IS
dependent largely upon the prosperity and
growth OF his congregation. This ~ de
pendent very largely upon the prosperity
and growth Of Wheeling, likewise is
Wheeling dependent upon her industries
for her well bs:ng. Surely the Reverend
Dir. ATWOOD DIES not require proof OF
this, or of the fact that the ind ustries for
which our city is noted, and to which is
largely due her very existence are among
the protected industries.
Mr.. ArwooD thinks that By this taxa
ton BY the tariff, which at The same time
incidentally protects cur Industries, the
burden Of governmental expense Is dis
tribuled uuequAIly. On this point, if Mr..
ATWOOD refers to our present tariff laws,
we agree with him entirely. The tariff as
it Row stands is an injustice to every poor
man in the land Its reformation and re-
adjustment On business principles has al
WAYS been advocated By the REGISTER. 1t
Is advocated by every true statesman, aud
its accomplishment Is only interlered with
BY ~demagOgUeS IL Congress. But, If Mr..
ATWOOD means that taxation by a tariff,
in the abstract, would be unjust to any
class Of our citizens, he is much mistaken.
The rich and poor consume imports alike,
and alike would bear the burden were our
tarif equaliz.d. As it is DOW, Injuries
which are consumed principally by the
Iich, arc allowed to enter practically lice,
while on the "poor man nvccsaries' the
tariff Is piled high.

To he Editor Of the Register:
The saa5 is a rebuke for some violation
of the conrtesies, or proprieties OF social or
pubic life, or for some greater ottense. Ii
depeuds on circumstances for its justlhca'
ton or appreciation. When Aaron Burr pro-
yoked his duel with Alexander Hamilton,
and to secure his personal and polltlcai
point of action he incurred the eondem
nation Of all honorable men. When ne
carried the hostility farther be fastened
upon himself the odium Of pcsterlty. When
some wears afterward he met Mrs. Hamll-
ton at some reception or party, n WIN
his bland accomplished manners, ne
approached her to make his salutatlon,
she folded her arms in dignity ana looking
BIN in the face she froze him out OF society
and out of what is called the world. do
not care to inquire whether Mrs. Cleye-
land snubbed Foraker or not. Ii she dld
not. she ought to have done 1t. Foraker
was the guest of a city all OF whose
citizens had united without dis
IinctlOu Ol phIy
tender to him and his comrades the rates
of Hospitality, and like a blackguard, for his
own purposes he turned around and insult
ed his host in his own household. This
so far gives us the type of the man. In a
public discourse, and representing a YoiltI-
cal party, he publicly assailed Mr.. Cleve-
land, first, in the effect Of his language, as
an individual unworthy of public estima-
ton; and secondly As the Chief Executive
OF his country who "a incompetent, un-
patriotic and Enthusiastically. With this
language sareriHg on his lips, ne goes into
a crowded assembly where Mr.. Cleveland
and his wife are the chief and conspicuous
persOnages of public attention. He could
only take the position be did to play the
snO5 or provoke the sHUL. Whichever OF
these positions he chooses to occupy his
opponents need not care, and his hackers
and supporters must feel the degradation
that either must attach TO the man.

ORIGIN OF THE CHICAGO FIRE.
A Visit to Mother O'Leary-A Surviv
ing Calf.
From the Chicago Herald.

From The Chicago Herald.
1t is positively known that the conflagra-
ton which destroyed Chicago originated in
the one-and-a-half-story barn of Patrick
OLeary, at the rear end and on the east line
of the lot numbered 1877 DeKoven street.
The flames first burst from the roof of this
barn, which had been stored with hay
the day before. These flames were
seen at the same time by
two witnesses-William E. Lee, It's feet
distant southwest, at the northeast corner
of jefferson and DeKoven streets, and by
Mary OsRorlIe, who stood at the northwest
window of her house, point sixty feet
southwest of the burning barn. There were
in the barn six cows, calf, horses and
other animals, and birds of various kinds.
The only inmate of the barn that did not
perish was a calf 1t would probably be
possible to follow the history of this noted
animal
The barn was on an allev, and the
O'Learys lived in the rear of cottage that
fronted on DeKoven. The front was occu-
pied by Patrick Mclaughlin. Mrs. O'Leary,
large and powerfully built woman, ran
milk business She MIXED at 5 p. m, and
was naturally in bed at S:45 p. M, when the
fire broke out. Milk sellers are probably
the first people out of bed in a city. The
McLaughlins that night celebrated the ar
rival of relative from the old sod Their
late hours would naturally annoy the
| O'Learys. Some trouble-maker told Mrs.
| OLeary that her neighbors had gone to the
barn for the purpose of getting milk for
oyster soup. This Mrs. O'Leary never be-
| lieved. A broken lamp was said to have
been found in the barn.
The celebrity that came to Mrs. O'Leary
soured a nature which was bellicose at the
best. The injustice of attributing to her
catastrophe in which she was a leading suf-
ferer hardened her heart against reporters.
| There also fingered in her mind a fear that
there might be something criminal in the
charge. Thirteen years later her estimable
son, PIGGY O'Leary, killed his wife and sis
| ter-in-law and went to prison for it. This
trouble turned the Amazon into fury The
last journalist who paid Mother O'Leary
visit bare escaped alive.
| She now lives in shanty some three
miles south ofsDeKoven street The O'Leary
cottage was not burned. 1t was demolished
! in later years, and a substantial two-story
brick house erected at the fatal No. 1871
The Chicago Historical Society has put up
tablet on the front of this house. The exact
origin of the great fire can never be known
unless somebody other than any member of
the O'Leary family shall reveal the secret.
1t is reasonably well established that the
O'Learys were in bed
